Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="CR84A020 CR84A021"><span class="h3">Question 2: Occupancy-Tenure-Rent</span><br /><br />(See Illustration on Page 22)<br /><br />This second question of the dwelling form has the purpose of knowing if the private dwelling is found <span class="em">Occupied </span>or <span class="em">Unoccupied</span>. In the case in which the dwelling is found to be <span class="em">Occupied </span>with respect to the <span class="em">Census Moment</span>, that is to say, it has been inhabited before 12:00 the night of June 10 or 0 hours of June 11, 1984, you should make a distinction between those that are in it because the persons who reside in it pay a rent (<span class="em">Renters</span>), and those occupied by a family that is its owner (<span class="em">Owners</span>). The questionnaire leaves open the possibility that <span class="em">Occupied Dwellings</span> will be found by other means, (for example: being poor or because it was ceded for reasons of work to the inhabitants, etc.) fact that should not be specified.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 26]</span><br /><br />In the end, you should mark with an X the alternative that corresponds, and only in the case that it is the first (Rented dwelling) write down the monthly amount in <span class="lang">colones</span> that is paid for rent.<br /><br />In the case that the dwelling is found to be <span class="em">Unoccupied</span> before the <span class="em">Census Moment</span>, an X is marked in the circle that corresponds to the reason that explains why it is uninhabited, that is to say, "for rent or for sale", "under construction or repair", "for the summer", and "other" with the response not included in the previous ones and which it isn't specified in written form.<br /></svar>
